I created two issues in the repository
(https://github.com/dlang/projects)
but I do not know, how to set the gsoc2020 label. I assume others
may have edit authorizations on the repository and therefore are
able
to set the labels.
For now, I prefixed the issue titles with gsoc2020:
https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues/75
https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues/76
Kind regards
André
